Need a standard copy to turn up soon. Pinwheel splatter turned out cooler than butterfly IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The rest of the record release /300 with streaming ticket are up on bandofnothing.com - sounds like they initially planned to save a bunch to sell during the stream but have realized that getting that money now > getting that money later.

Anyone listen to the album yet or have early impressions? obviously I'm that asshole who's been listening to the record since late July (and actually spoke with Nicky about it - more on that soon) but I think it's their best since GoE. the record is incredibly diverse for a Nothing record and doesn't just stay in that shoe gaze lane the entire time. An incredible step up from Dance on the Blacktop (which I really liked) and just above Tired of Tomorrow for me. GoE will always have the nostalgic edge for me but objectively this is right up there if not better. zeromentality, LeeKaye and Mars 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I do recall you mentioning that it was their best since GoE, earlier in the thread. Wasn't sure if that was a single take based off a review stream if you really had time to digest it. Really hoping my opinion lines up with yours because that'd be a real treat. I've held off on both singles so far in hopes of being completely surprised with the first play – truly have no idea what to expect but it's tempting to let my imagination run wild with a post like yours. zeromentality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ethereal Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Haven’t been impressed by any of the singles so really hoping the rest of the album saves this. Edited October 23, 2020 by ethereal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewberinger Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 They should have one more single releasing this week my favorite track is the Alex G one April HaHa Other favorites are Catch A Fade, In Blueberry Memories, and Ask The Rust SaulManella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlr Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Also got the /100 Butterfly variant delivered today, was a nice surprise. I can agree with drew, so far I liked the last three tracks on side A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam10647 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Got mine today cant believe how quick it got here (San Diego) so far really liking it I was fairly underwhelmed by Blacktop so happy to have some new jams. I got the 200 bagged press anyone else have a little happy face sticker on the side A label? Also the paper sleeve for the record had some writing and a stamp on it. Anyone else?

alwaysopenmouth Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Record was delivered today ahead of schedule so that’s going to be something very cool to come home to. Gonna unwind and sit in my comfy chair with my headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magickspells Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) WTF! USPS tracking just alerted of "no access to delivery location - will deliver next business day." I live in an apartment complex, never had that issue before! They usually just leave it at the door... Tf. This is why I hate working during mail delivery hours. I even have another package sitting there waiting for me today. Edited October 23, 2020 by phantasmatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantdance Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Yeah. As someone that’s been carrying mail for a few months now I can tell you it was either a person that’s never done that route before and was filling in for a regular and genuinely got confused or they just missed your package in the truck and didn’t have time to drop it off. It’s rare but remember that mistakes can happen and your delivery person probably had the best intentions (hopefully) magickspells 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magickspells Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 They must have forgot the package, because my Criterion movies were delivered just fine today. I won’t be around tomorrow either so hopefully they leave it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwaysopenmouth Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Just finished my first listen and I loved it, this was great from start to finish. I made some notes on my phone as I listened and would like to share so pls no bully 1. Harp sounds so nice, very pretty why aren’t they used more often in songs? 2. Hi hats constantly switching channels, makes for a nice dream-like quality 3. I want to hear this track played live ASAP, that clean guitar at the second half tho 4. Nice distortion solo 5. Another track that needs to be heard live, nice ramp up in the half of the song 6. Liked the song better on the album than on the video, I could focus more on the audio than on the visuals 7. When the band enters tho, I like the chorus and will sing that in the car lol 8. Like the transition into the song, and love the feel of this song, certified banger. Highlight so far 9. Intro drum beat- raised eyebrow, drums sound huge. Is this song about John Lennon? 10. Love the guitar riff, very subdued lead guitar but sounds great. Love an album fade out, I feel like I took a trip Relapse delivered a great product, the packaging and presentation are top notch and the production is way better on this album though I never felt it was a deal breaker on DotBT.

MyEnemy Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 First off, the whole package is fucking amazing. The Pinwheel looks great. Haven't listened yet(or to any of the "singles"), but I know it's gonna slap. 10 hours ago, drewberinger said: it is a bitch tho putting the o-ring back around the record sleeve and then into that bag haha Lastly, you can do what I did: put a thin cardboard flat in the bag, then take the o-ring put that shit in the jacket, and then put all of that and the jacket, containing the record, in a poly bag. Boooom! Easy access and everything is good. drewberinger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royce Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 One listen and I already know this is my favorite Nothing record. Reminds me most of “Downward Years to Come.” Loved every goddamn second. zeromentality 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
